Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different sites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To pick the best shared hosting service for your website, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Positive Signs

The most suitable option for small size websites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total cost per user critically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting corporation to another, supplying different quotas of disk storage space and monthly traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order an account that will include the features your online portal indeed requires. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Goo Hosting, offer a great array of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you begin with a low-end package and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more powerful account demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Some sites, especially web shops, request applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it performs in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally include full root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Like the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server accounts include different characteristics based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A Virtual Private Server package offers guaranteed data storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be increased for short spans of time if there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to run as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some hosting providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they complete web server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
